Only two cases were tried since our last issue. A. Smith, a land agent at Stuart, secured a verdict in a case of interest to real estate men in general. He brought suit against Mrs. Louise Bartow and husband of Gordon to se cure his commission for obtaining a buyer for a farm owned by the Bar tows in the vicinity of Stuart and was awarded $524.82 by the jury. Mr. Smith made a showing to the effect that in 1906 he entered Into a contract with the Bartows to sell their farm at $40 per acre and was to have $500 commission for securing a buyer. Soon after he found a buyer who wanted the land at the price stated, when the owners refused to sell. By the terms of the agreement the owners were to furnish a deed when a buyer was fonnd. Their re f usual to sell was the cause of the suit, jand the verdict in favor of Mr. Smith bstablishes the right of a land agent to Inforce a contract. . The case against Charles Falk, the Verdigris township boy, who was found guilty a few months ago in bounty court of stealing one bushel of oorn and on which appeal was taken to the district court, went against the boy in the higher court. A verdiot was returned by the Jury finding him guilty. The court had not yesterday fixed the amount of fine. O'Neill Junior Normal. Opens June 8th and continues six 1 weeks. Closes July 17, 1908.

Fifty teachers and ten prospective teachers, making sixty in all, was the enrollment from this county. We are very much pleased with this response made to the first call on the school boards of the rural districts especially, and from the in terest and pleasure.'your teacheis ex perienced there can be no doubt but you will be repaid manyfold for your generosity. After hearing Inspector A. A. Reed’s practical talk on "Expression in Reading" one cannot help but beach that subject better, nor could ane help but be convinced that the old way is not the better way of teaching geography, after hearing Dr. Win Jhip’s address,"The New Geography." His lecture “The Making of Manly Boys” proved that he has been very fittingly styled "the Horace Mann of fils time.” The point most emphati cally brought out was that the nation today needs fathering. The father spends too much of his time attend ing to his business, and not enough with his boys. Probably the best lec ture was given Thursday evening by Colorado’s Governor Henry A. Bucbtel who is also Chancellor of the Univer >ity at Denver. One hearer has said Chancellor Buchtel’s lecture on Theo* lore Roosevelt belongs In the same class with Bishop Fowler’s lecture on Abraham Lincoln. The primary, grade, high school, luperintendent and rural sections, each separated from the others, gave ill an opportunity to hear much of ;he subject he was most Interested In md to express his views or ask ques tions, according to his need to assist Jthers or be assisted.

Walt Mason in Empora (Kan.) jlazette: I bought me a suit of the learsbuck brand, they said it was tailored and sewed by hand; they said :t was woven of finest wool, and jouldn’t be torn by an angry bull; ;hey said it was fine, and would sure y last till Gabriel tooted the final jlast. It was ten cents cheaper than suits I’d bought from local dealers, who seemed quite hot and shed a bucket of briny tears, when I bought ny clothes of the Sawbuck Bears. I wore that suit when the day was lamp, and it shrunk to the size of a postage stamp; the coat split up and bhe vest split down and I scared the worses all over the town, for the but tons popped and the seams they tore, and the stitches gave, with a sullen roar. And I gave that suit to a maid 3n small, who found it handy to dress ber doll. The Norfolk Nursery.
